No, you should be hacking some Javascript so we can fill in the grid. In a collaborative manner, with username tracking from the phpbb cookie, so we can each see who got each question right.

20 across is 6,4 not 5,4.

Going from the fact that the crossword has an extra space and I think the answer is
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Bloody Roar
.

Which was a game I loved.

Up to 12 now.

26 across - "Cheat"?

And "be oddjob" doesn't fit.

Ah, so you did! You put spaces in, which is why I didn't spot it in my 'find on page'. Sorry Gaz (and Malc).
But well done to both of you - did you have to look it up?
